The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a steep S-facing slope overlooking a stream valley. There is a slight break in slope in the area of the souterrain, with a more pronounced fall of ground immediately to the S. According to local information, an opening (diam. c. 3m) appeared when the ground collapsed during the levelling of a 'hump' in the field in the 1980s. The opening revealed a stone-built chamber that was filled in immediately. There are no visible remains of this souterrain at ground level.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
